Booked for Murder by P.J. Nelson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Maddie (Madeline) finds she has inherited a bookstore from her Aunt Rose. A bookstore located in a little town called Enigma, a town with which she is not unfamiliar. When she arrives someone intends to make sure she won’t stay by setting fire to the gazebo in her yard. After that even threatening phone calls won’t scare her away.
I had fun with this. It’s different than what I’ll call your everyday cozy. Don’t get me wrong. I love cozies. Sometimes the brain needs a mystery without all the blood and gore of a thriller. But cozies can have a certain frame that makes one sometimes seem like a carbon copy of another.

This sure isn’t true of J.P. Nelson’s book. This is indeed a small town and there is a small-town cop involved, and she inherits something, but somehow the way this mystery falls together is different. The kind of difference that keeps you reading.
I think this may be a debut book for P.J. Nelson or at least a “cozy” debut. Could be the author is using a pseudonym, but I sure hope he or she writes another Maddie book.
